Walcha Caravan Park … A small, but very nice little caravan park a short walk to town via the Sculpture walk in the park along the Aspley River. The neatest and cleanest caravan park we have ever stayed in. Good value at $30 per night.
You must stop here! … Easter weekend we booked and stayed here in a cabin. Absolutely spotless. The park itself was neat as you’ll get anywhere. Better. I did enjoy my sleep. Great amenities including laundry and camp kitchen. Great shower facilities. Clean clean clean, a credit to Glenys and Neil. Whilst staying do yourself a favour and visit Aspley falls with or without water, take in the fabulous gorge walk as well as visiting Tia Falls. Another spectacular natural site. Gorges are amazing.
What a find! … We were there in April and this is the best caravan park we have stayed in. The cabins and the grounds are spotless. The owners have done a remarkable job of this park. It is so peaceful and quiet. When we were there the park was fully booked and we never noticed when people arrived or left.
